Lyrics:

You pick apart at me
Embracing the sick satisfaction
Of a hungry agony
A faceless beauty a vision of apathy
Temptation of a sinners, a sinners guilt

Never
Forget me
Theres an alteration theres a consequence
Never, never
Forget me

Adhering to the atrocities
Committed on a fault line
Under a subtle guise
We weep for mankind
Trying to justify
A senseless aspiration
I need to rectify this sense of admiration

As you speak through the glass caught in your mouth
Your words they turn to sand, endeavoured to scream and shout
Beyond the crimson sky

As the secrets of your mind unravel
within your eyes
Your pride begins to melt
In disdain and severed affiliations
You shed your layers
revealing what lies beneath

Never
Forget me
Theres an alteration theres a consequence
Never
Forget me

As you speak through the glass caught in your mouth
Your words they turn to sand, endeavoured to scream and shout
Beyond the crimson sky

Bringing everyone down
Laying in your contempt
We're suffocating from a promise
From an empty promise once kept
Trying to justify
This senseless aspiration

A compensation to a life of guilt
Our skin crawls with your spoken lies
Objection to your hands that feed
We weep again
For those you leave behind
And for the victims engaged in your site

Lyrics:

A society laid to waste
The populace fades away
The light that blinds - leaves a shade
The mark of life, all that remains 

Slain... Down
To live in fear for years, that’s not living
Slain... Down
We lived in fear for years, without warning

We bare a constant weight, to suffer is our fate
The sky gives birth to a sun, within its glory we succumb 

So raise your arms, resist the pain
Overcome the new worlds darkest day
Never be ashamed
Our tears remembered forever
(x2)

Decayed - this place that we once knew
Rivers - laced with death

A scene engulfed in mourning
Our city laid to rest
Structures never seemed so frail
This life deemed meaningless

So raise your arms, resist the pain
Overcome the new worlds darkest day
Never be ashamed
Our tears remembered forever
(x2)

We bare a constant weight, to suffer is our fate
The sky gives birth to a sun, within its glory we succumb

These tears that fall
Overcome by silence
The hope of all
Erased by violence
This is (we are) erased by violence
This is (we are) erased

Lyrics:

Can anyone hear me screaming?
These cries for help feel so pointless now...

We are confined: this is quarantine
A viral nightmare that we can't control
This eerie silence will soon be broken
The sick hunt me driven by thirst for flesh

My will to live is slipping away
This dark empty room is my final place
Left all alone to face this torment
I grow weaker with every passing moment

They swore that they would protect us
Instead they caged us inside, we were defenceless
I could be the last survivor
This is me, at the end, and I face my final hour

We were confined, they've taken everything
There’ll soon be nothing left

This execution, was this intended all along?
There’s nothing left for us

There’s nothing left for us
They have betrayed our trust

We were confined, they've taken everything
There’ll soon be nothing left

Dear friends of mine
This is my end
Whoever you are
This is what is left
My final moments sitting in darkness
Beaten down by a world that is heartless

Dear friends of mine
This is my end
Whoever you are
This is what is left
My final moments sitting in darkness
Beaten down by a world that is heartless

Lyrics:

Cast out broken thoughts of the past
They are what haunts you
Tomorrow is the future in your grasp
Hold it tight, don't ever forget
You are the architect
You are the architect

Of your existence
Pave the way
You are the architect

Absolution makes its debut
What’s in store for you?
Open your eyes before you fall or falter
Sink or swim, you've got the choice within
Another trial awaits you

I'm holding tight, to this light
And it awakes the door to making things right
We fight for freedom
For a world that’s filled with reason

Would you do what's right to stop the world from shaking?
Or would you let it crumble?
Like a wounded rabbit thrown to the wolves
Don't become the hunted!

It's time to face the battle within
This is where it begins,
Your test of strength and valour
Pick up your courage, and
Abandon your fear
Your hopes and dreams await you!

You are the Architect
You are the Architect

Would you do what's right to stop the world from shaking?
Or would you let it crumble?
Like a wounded rabbit thrown to the wolves
Don't become the hunted!

Don't become the hunted!
Don't become the hunted!

With determination we watch our hopes rise!

I'm holding tight to this light
And it awakes the door to making things right
We fight for freedom
For a world that’s filled with reason

Would you do what's right to stop the world from shaking?
Or would you let it crumble?
Like a wounded rabbit thrown to the wolves
Don't become the hunted!

Cast away your fear, this is our only chance!

Fate is in your hands
Don't let it slip away
Don't let our hope fade away

Lyrics:

Ripped from our grasp, they think they have us beat
We won't lay down, we won't admit defeat
You fight the masses, trying to keep control
Our home is turning into an open battleground
Your throne of power no longer means a thing
Your one world plans; an end you cannot meet
You'll bring the thunder, you'll bring the rain
But you will not bring the end of days

Open your eyes to a bleeding world
The tyrants hold us down with oppression
We won't lay down
We won't give up

You want our silence, you want our fear
You want to see us cry, but we won't shed a tear
In this battle for all our human rights;
We fight the bloodshed of innocent lives
Behold, a world bound by evil
Cursed, wretched and broken
We will fight to restore what was lost
For the ones in control are corrupt

Take a look at the world around you
Filled with hatred, enslavement and conspiracy
We can never change until greed is defeated
We can never stop until their throne is unseated

We're taking back control

You want our silence, you want our fear
Then take it from our hands if you fucking dare

We won't lay down
We won't give up

Greed and its power only exist through submission
Don't submit to persecution

Unbinding the shackles
We are breaking free 
Breaking free

Reinforce your shelter
The storm is setting in
We are all in the path of destruction
This war, no-one wins

Unsilenced

Seven Acts of Mercy began to form as a band in Adelaide, South Australia, late during 2011/early 2012, with a mind set to blend our musical tastes together and have it driven by epic keyboard melodies. After completing our line-up, we recorded our first track 'Confined' with Kyle Bloksgaard (frontman of Infiltraitor). We then began to perform our music live at various venues all over Adelaide. 

In early 2013 we recorded two more tracks, 'The Architect' and 'Unsilenced', with Bradley Stuart of Desolate Recordings. At the beginning of October, we released the track ‘Vision’, also recorded with Desolate Recordings. Shortly after this we supported the Swedish Metalcore Heavyweights ‘Adept’ when they hit Adelaide on their Australian tour. 

Since then we have been writing new material and learning to produce our own music. We have released our newest track, ‘The Sky’, in celebration of our upcoming support with Born of Osiris and After the Burial when they hit Adelaide in January 2014. This track was produced and mastered by our lead guitarist, Samuel Ahrens.

We have plenty of music and content planned for the near future. Thank you for stopping by our page and showing your interest in Seven Acts of Mercy. Keep an eye out!
